Q: 

I just ended my period 10 days ago, and today I have been really light pink. I don't know why I am having a second period and why it is so light that no tampon is needed. What is going on??

I have been taking the Aubra birth control for 3 months now. And me and my boyfriend do have unprotected sex.

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. It is very interesting that you should have light pink vaginal discharge just 10 days after completing your period.

I visited the Afaxys Pharmaceutical website to help answer your question. According to the official site for Aubra, "The most common such effects are nausea, vomiting, bleeding between menstrual periods, weight gain, breast tenderness, and difficulty wearing contact lenses. These side effects, especially nausea and vomiting, may subside within the first three months of use. "

This may explain the scant light pink bleeding.

Regards,
Maryann
